Nigeria International linked with Italian Serie A Club

Published on: 25 July 2022

Nigeria international Ademola Lookman is being linked with a summer transfer to Italian Serie A club Atalanta.

 

Sky Sport Italia claims that Atalanta have 'concrete interest' in the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup winner with the Young Lions.

 

The Nerazzurri are looking to reinforce their attack ahead of next season and Lookman has emerged as a transfer target.

 

The 24-year-old has returned to parent club RB Leipzig after spending the whole of last season on loan at Leicester City, but his future is still up in the air.

 

He didn't participate in RB Leipzig's last two pre-season fixtures against Southampton and Liverpool owing to injury.

 

The German Bundesliga club are open to selling Lookman on a permanent deal to any of his suitors and the winger's asking price is in the region of fifteen million euros.

 

The Charlton Academy product returned for a second spell at the Red Bull club in 2019 but has struggled to impress, leading to loan stints at Fulham and Leicester City.
